About
Coral Bay Ecotours is a fully accredited tourism business of Australia, an adventure tour company working within the realms of the magnificent Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. Come on board our Glass Bottom Boat for our 1 hour coral view, 2 hour coral view and 2 snorkels. Why not visit our resident turtles on our 3 hour turtle Ecotour, where we can observe them feeding, then enjoy 2 snorkels. How about a fantastic marine ecotour for the opportunity to swim with the awe inspiring manta ray, in what has become almost a daily event. Embrace adventure snorkeling with these gentle giants. Coral Bay is also one of the few places in the world where you can snorkel with the magnificent whale sharks - the world’s biggest fish. It certainly is an experience of a lifetime and the main seasonal attraction between March and July for guests from all over the world. For the second year, we will be part of the humpback interaction trial, where you may have the opportunity to see a humpback from in the water! This takes whale watching to a whole other level! Season begins August and finishes in November, but be quick as it may be the last year for this amazing experience!! We also run 3 hour whale watching tours during the season. Contact us now for more information.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amazing manta experience and the underwater photography was great. Team were knowledgeable and friendly. Bit of a bigger boat though. Other snorkelling was beautiful too.

The crew were awesome. Bodhi, Ky, Laura, Tash, Dan were brilliant, kind, knowledgeable and supportive.

And wow, the experience, out of this world. We saw tons of manta rays, saw mating sea turtles, reef sharks and so diverse fish populations.

I am so grateful for this experience and how this company offered this Canadian this once in a life time opportunity. Thanks again crew- you are awesome!

A great day out. Great snorkelling at different sites. Swam with Manta three times very close. We found turtles and reef sharks while snorkelling. Saw a tiger shark from the boat. The crew were all really good and really keen. They could not do enough for us.

From the moment we went to enquire to the time we stepped off the boat the whole process was easy and awesome.
Laura, Sophia, Lou, Dan(the Cookie Monster) and captain Jay made the whole trip east and enjoyable.
The guys made sure that everyone got to swim with the Manta-rays and everyone was safe. Even having 3 children with us (1,3,8) they worked the groups to ensure my wife and I got to do all 4 swims and the 2 younger ones were looked after (by us as we split the water time)
Whilst snorkelling the girls were so attentive to ensure all children (ours and others) were seeing all the animals and coral but also happy, warm and not too tired whilst letting the parents enjoy the reef.
Laura’s photography was amazing and worth the minimal cost to purchase over 100 photos, she managed to capture all participants naturally and got some amazing wildlife pictures which will take pride of place on our walls soon.
Couldn’t recommend them enough

Fabulous trip. Informative & respectful of the environment. We snorkelled in only 1 place due to tides and time taken to get to snorkelling site but it gave tons of time to explore.

Really excellent to see a healthy thriving reef ecosystem. Shows all the magic of nature. We all must be aware of the importance of maintaining treasures like these. Ecotours bring us in contact with these special places in an informed safe way. Loved it. Brilliant.

3 of us (couple and grown up daughter) took this amazing trip on Tuesday 7 November 23. What an amazing experience. Wonderful crew were extremely knowledgeable. We had so many opportunities to snorkel. We saw turtles, swam with mantas (incredible) and got up close to reef sharks. Very well organised, snorkeling gear provided and we enjoyed a very nice lunch in the middle of the trip. Not even the impromptu overnight stay in Coral Bay (road to Exmouth closed due to bushfire) could put a dampener on this wonderful day.

Had a fantastic day out with the crew, saw loads of turtles and manta rays, the guides were brilliant and the skipper dropped us in right over a whole mating chain of rays - unforgettable experience!

Our trip was our best ever. Great value for money and the passionate, professional team showed us how beautiful and precious this bay is. We saw manta rays, sharks, turtles, just to name a few as we snorkelled the beautiful reefs. Watching the photographer work his magic was a show in itself. Thank you so much team, we had such a special day and thank you Laura for the extra care and safe hands.
